The Chief Minister plans to conduct meetings with Chinese ministers, senior officials, and experts while attending several events, conferences, and ceremonies organized in her honor. The entire voyage is being organized as part of the continuing strengthening of ties of Pakistan with China, as an invitation extended to her from the ruling Communist Party of China.
Most interestingly, the delegation is expected to primarily lead to an arrangement in governance, agriculture, technology, and infrastructure development, which is going to open fresh avenues to collaboration and further cement relationships between the two countries.
